I blame Israel for the death of its civilians due to palastinian terrorism.

I return to my original statement, and we have now completed the circle and neither of us has changed. Much like the violence and depravity of religious wars in the Middle East.

One of us has a morally defensible position backed with historical examples of similar events and the other doesn't know how to even recognize a genocide is happening before his very eyes. That's really the crux of the whole thing. You simply don't see the wholesale slaughter of brown people as a genocide. My argument relies entirely on the moral backbone that opposing genocide is righteous. Your argument is to refuse your own eyes.

If that was your family, born behind a wall and then bombed to hell, I bet you would have a different tune. Sadly for people like you with no moral philosophy whatsoever, having no empathy for people experiencing things you don't is pretty normal. It's why Nazi Germany was able to do what it did. It's why south Africa got away with what it did. It's why the native Americans were genocided as they were. And it's why right at this moment you fence sit a slaughter.
